All these companies have won us over with their innovative ideas.
ETHCL Food Labs GmbH
Healthy nutrition is very important to us. Especially in hectic times, it is important for us to reach for a healthy snack. Peppermint has therefore acquired a stake in ETHCL Food Labs GmbH through a merger. With the brand TZAMPAS, the Berlin start-up offers energy bars based on the roasted barley flour of the same name. The naturalness of the ingredients has top priority.
